and I shared your fears when I bought the car. I've had a few scares, mostly when going much too fast and hitting a big hole, but so far, so good. I am not kind to the car, as a result of lifelong habit and some taxi driving here in my youth. I do assume that I will eventually break a rim, but that's the same assumption I'd have about any sedan with alloy wheels. I've been watching for an available spare on the used market.
I have had a SAAB in the city for about 25 years. I can give you some very useful information about service in NYC, but off line. You should almost NO service costs for the first 4 years/50,000, if you play your cards right and are willing to do a few things yourself. The car is wonderful. The front is vulnerable in NYC parking, so I'd keep it off the street as much as possible.
